Ben, a young man in love, has invited his girlfriend to a romantic picnic in the park to pop the question. Spreading out the blanket and food, he rehearses the perfect line. But as soon as Kate arrives, his hopes of happily ever after are dashed as anything that could possibly go wrong does — he says the wrong thing, she misunderstands, they get plowed over by a gang of football players... followed by a parade of other mishaps! A constant stream of wisecracks (and wisdom!) comes from a nearby park bench, where a nosey old couple spends the afternoon eavesdropping and commentating. By the end of the picnic, it’s more like a death knell than wedding bells for the young couple’s relationship. This fast-paced comedy is full of dynamic characters, amusing stage action, and non-stop laughs — perfect for contest or any one-act event!
